This is cool! I wonder if the first desert insert could be a shot of Finn’s parachute, and the second desert shot could be the shot of the desert where Finn runs toward the smoke, but without the smoke, and added footprints in the sand?
EDIT: Since Poe’s return felt a little out of left field to some, couldn’t you use this additional scene to also hint at Poe’s survival? I understand why you have the lines the way you currently do though.
